EuMW 2016: Gigabit waveform engineering on your desktop
PicoScope PC-based sampling oscilloscopes delivering 20GHz bandwidth with standard measurements and advanced waveform analysis for gigabit signals will be demonstrated by Pico Technology at European Microwave Week in London (October 4-6). Two and four channels models are available, with options for clock recovery to 11.3 Gbit/s and optical input to 9.5GHz.
64 Gbaud PAM4 BER Test Solution to demo at ECOC 2016
The Signal Quality Analyser MP1800A series 64 Gbaud PAM4 BER test solution will be demonstrated on Anritsu’s Stand 419 at ECOC 2016 in Düsseldorf (September 19-21). The demo will include the G0374A 64 Gbaud PAM4 DAC supporting 53.125-Gbaud PAM4 transmissions defined by the next-generation 400GbE standard as well as generation of high-quality PAM4 signals at up to 64 Gbaud. Additionally, 400GbE 53.125-Gbaud BER measurements are supporte...
Sensor testing software accelerates ADAS testing
New sensor testing software called SENSOR_IG, from specialist simulator software company rFpro, can generate realistic data feeds, in real-time, for sensor models of cameras, radar, LiDAR and ultrasound sensors. It enables the entire ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) toolchain to be tested on a driving simulator with a human driver in control, significantly reducing development times and cost.
Temperature measurement IC linearises sensors to 0.1°C conformity
The LTC2986 high performance digital temperature measurement IC, which directly digitises any combination of thermocouples, RTDs, thermistors and external diodes with 0.1°C conformity and 0.001°C resolution has been introduced by Linear Technology. The LTC2986 builds on the award-winning LTC2983 and LTC2984 by adding three new operating modes and reducing the number of analogue inputs from 20 channels to 10 channels.
Signal generators offer multiple modulation functions
The Siglent SDG1000X Series of Function/Arbitrary Waveform Generators which output sine, square, ramp, and pulse waveforms to 60MHz with a 14-bit sampling rate of 150MSa/s at up to +/-20V has been introduced by Saelig. The generators feature Siglent's patented EasyPulse technology for low jitter and very fast rising and falling edges that are frequency-independent even at low duty cycle settings.
EuMW 2016: Vector network analysis suits all applications
The very latest in Vector Network Analysis (VNA) technology and innovation will be showcased by Anritsu (Stand 8) at European Microwave Week, offering a VNA to suit every application, from RF to Broadband, and for every budget and measurement scenario. During the show, Anritsu will display up-coming and new additions to the ShockLine and VectorStar product families, and demonstrating some of the latest developments in test and measurement.
MPPT test enhances photovoltaic/solar simulator software
Automated static and dynamic maximum peak power tracking (MPPT) test to has been added to Keysight Technologies’ Solar Array Simulator (SAS) Control software for the N8900APV Series PV simulators. The static and dynamic MPPT tests are performed in accordance with the European Standard EN50530 (April 2010) procedure, which is widely accepted as the industry standard for the overall efficiency of grid-connected photovoltaic inverters.
Test tools keep railway maintenance teams on track
Railway Tool Boxes are a collection of instruments which, says Microlease, take the guesswork out of ensuring teams always have the correct electrical and electronic test gear to complete their tasks. They simplify access to the essential equipment needed to manage and maintain the multitude of electrical, electronic and communications systems used on today’s railway.
Semiconductor test platform accommodates PXI/PXIe modules
Capabilities of the TS-900 PXI semiconductor test platform have been extended by Marvin Test Solutions (MTS) with the addition of the TS-960e system which offers PXI Express (PXIe) performance and expanded test capabilities for RF devices and SoC applications.
3D AOI system at SMTA Guadalajara
MIRTEC plans to exhibit its MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI System at the SMTA Guadalajara Expo & Tech Forum (Oct. 5-6). The MV-6 OMNI 3D AOI Machine is configured with MIRTEC’s OMNI-VISION 3D Inspection Technology which combines the company's 15 Mega Pixel CoaXPress Camera Technology with the Digital Multi-Frequency Quad Moiré 3D system in a newly designed platform.
